behaviors in real-time
– To qualify consumer targets, must have interaction
technologies that scale

Advertising and marketing is a co-creation
process in which a brand can have a meaning it
wants to convey through advertising, but
consumers create that meaning when they see
the brand in a context that generates meaning.

their profile does
• Small is big
– Users create their own customized niches

Social Networking Measurement
• Why is social media so hard to corral and
measure?
– People create influential content that impacts consumer
behavior aren't necessarily the people who claim the
most eyeballs
– An "influencer" may have a small audience from a
numbers' standpoint
• Also have a massive impact on your target
customers' buying habits
Social Networking Measurement
• The recent Nielsen//NetRatings announcement
about the new "time spent" metric
– Shift away from the page view
– The number of hits on a website doesn't necessarily
equal the most value
• SMM differs from traditional marketing
– B2C marketing is only part of the impact
– C2C impact
• Value is created in two paths
– Consumers visit the brand’s custom community
– Consumers who don’t visit the custom
community, but hear about the brand through
their social network
